Piore River languages

New Guinea and Pacific Language Families

The Piore River languages, also called the Lagoon languages, form a branch of the Skou languages spoken in the Sissano Lagoon area of West Aitape Rural LLG, Sandaun Province, Papua New Guinea. Historically most of the group's varieties were lumped together as a single Warapu language, with the status of Nouri classified variously; the Piore River name itself is not favored by speakers since the river runs west of all the languages in the group.
